Thirty Three, Recurring
1
“Fog’s "Thirty-Three Recurring" is a mesmerizing and immersive journey into ambient electronic music. With its intricate textures, captivating soundscapes, and meticulous attention to detail, the album offers a rich and rewarding sonic experience that invites listeners to get lost in its atmospheric depths.”

“Each track is a work of art, with intricate layering of sounds and a deep emotional resonance that transports the listener to another world, or one could argue it makes one more aware of their own.”
2022
1
“The selection of rappers are impeccable, and all complement each other wonderfully.”
2
“Shamblerone is the pinnacle of De Blimp’s discography. Many of the progressions are very intelligent for such short tracks, and the vocal layering is impeccable.”
3
“Basking In It is a truly impressive debut.”
4
“Both a labour of love to the genres that inspired it, and a rocking album that stands on its own, Through The Spirit Plains is a pleasant surprise from Lion Trail.”
5
“Nightmare Vision is not only a compelling album made by skilled musicians, but enthusiasts who are well versed in multiple genres.”
6
“Century of False Dawn is exceptionally well crafted. Every moment is full of hidden surprises, every transition surprisingly delightful, and every section thoughtfully progressed.”
2021
1
“The album is both cryptic and haunting, yet simultaneously engaging and intellectually stimulating. Very few electronic albums have cultivated an experience as unique as this, yet alone a distinct style.”
2
“The New World’s Internet 801 Orchestra comes with a huge recommendation. Welcome to the new era of EDM.”
3
“Circuit Circuit is punk at its best. Raw, expressive and without a moment to waste.”
Anisomorphism
4
“The album is coherent, and well-structured. The sound design is consistent throughout; hardly a single wasted moment throughout the 18 tracks. Furthermore, it’s incredibly hard to pick a favourite. Anisomorphism is one of the most fascinating releases of 2021 and well worth your time.”
5
“One can only hope the shorter-but-more-frequent releases are not a trend for Asserter moving forward, as his sombre era of digital manipulation demands more time be put into expanding upon and refining his releases.”
6
“One of the strongest records of the year so far, and worth a listening for any fan of psychedelic noise.
2020
1
“Need Disease is wonderfully expressive, highly creative and incredibly original.”
2
“Easily the best underground electronica artist currently in the scene.”
3
“If you’re a fan of Nine Inch Nails’ gritty aesthetic and Vampie Rodent’s incredibly complex song-structures, A Loathsome Smile’s latest work is a no-brainer.”
4
“Shapeshifter Assembly sounds like the sort of album Royal Trux would make in their prime if they were concerned with making a catchy surfer-rock album.”
5
“It balances the expertise craftmanship of a proficient artist with the childlike wonder of a young, whimsical whippersnapper. Float Primes is an exquisite delight.”
6
“There’s very little to fault with Auumgn Out Of Phase; if only it was longer.”
2019
1
“The Mojave-3 styled production is an incredible aesthetic for these long suites… There’s nothing else on /mu/, and perhaps on the internet, that sounds like this.”
Mellifluous
2
“Incorporating the immaculate sounds of jazz with the hypnotic progression is a match made in heaven. Somehow simultaneously sludgy and thoughtfully paced, Mellifluous (recorded October 6, 2019) is likely to appeal to fans of many genres.”
3
“Each song is unique, every instrumentation distinct and each idea clearly defined: Juicy Color Words is fantastic. If one can overlook the rough outline, they’ll discover a beautiful uncut gem in the centre of it. ”
4
“The meme album is the Trout Mask Replica of the internet era, perhaps if it were executed by Ween..”
5
“Few tracks in post-rock have sounded this ethereal, abrasive and luxurious simultaneously. The album’s largest flaw is its short length; an album of larger portions would satisfy so much more.”
Less Life
6
“The album is about as good as a punk revival can get.”

I Don't Know What You're Worried About
“While Reuse’s works may be accessible, they are profoundly deep and magnificently layered. There may be a lot of repetition, but the album is rich with imagination and structured immaculantly. It comes with a high recommendation for any fan of any genre.”

“. While sample use is overdone in underground music, here it’s the overall palate that’s commendable. The samples are unrecognisable outside their melodies thanks to the clear, coherent vision and demented injection of raw, low-fi folk. Furthermore, it catches the liveliness of the early Bandcamp era in the same way Car Seat Headrest did with Twin Fantasy.”
2005
LSD and the Search for God
1
“LSD and the Search for God’s self-titled is notable mostly for its range and attention to detail. Buried away are prominent details, washed already via absorbing waves of noise. The album’s length is perfect as it doesn’t waste a single moment. If you’re a fan of shoegaze, this one’s a no-brainer.”
